Study summary

Intravesical OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) injection performed concurrently with endoscopic prostate surgery provides superior clinical improvement at the 12th postoperative week compared to standard medical therapy in patients with urodynamically confirmed bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and concomitant overactive bladder (OAB). This superiority is demonstrated through significant improvements in OABSS, OAB-V8, ICIQ-UI SF, IIQ-7, and IPSS scores.

Read the detailed description

Study Design and Patient Selection:

This prospective, randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of intravesical OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) injection when performed concurrently with endoscopic prostate surgery (TURP or Laser Enucleation). Patients diagnosed with concomitant Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO) and Overactive Bladder (OAB) via preoperative urodynamic studies will be included in the study.

Intervention and Procedure:

Participants will be randomized into two groups:

  1. Intervention Group: Patients will receive intravesical BoNT-A injections (100 Units) into the detrusor muscle (sparing the trigone) during the same anesthesia session as the endoscopic prostate surgery.
  2. Control Group: Patients will undergo endoscopic prostate surgery followed by the standard postoperative medical protocol (e.g., anticholinergics or Beta-3 agonists).

Data Collection and Follow-up:

Baseline clinical data, including International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), OAB-V8, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF), and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7), will be recorded preoperatively.

All patients will be followed for 12 weeks postoperatively. The primary objective is to compare the 12th-week clinical outcomes between the BoNT-A group and the standard medical therapy group. Statistical analysis will be performed to determine if simultaneous BoNT-A administration provides a significant advantage in alleviating OAB symptoms and improving quality of life in the early postoperative period.

Study population

"The study population consists of male patients who were treated at Taksim Egitim Ve Arastırma Hastanesi Urology Department. The cohort includes patients who underwent endoscopic prostate surgery for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and had documented preoperative symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB). Data were retrospectively collected from the electronic medical records and patient charts of individuals treated between [2024] and [2027]."

Inclusion criteria

  • Male patients aged 40 years and older who were diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia and underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or a similar endoscopic prostate surgery were included in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Neurological Pathologies:

    • Diagnosis of neurogenic bladder.
    • History of Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
    • Spinal cord injury or any other conditions leading to neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Metabolic and Systemic Diseases:

  • Diabetes Mellitus with associated neuropathy.
  • Severe renal impairment ( \<30 ml/min/1.73 m²).
  • Severe hepatic impairment ( C).
  • Moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) or severe renal impairment in patients using strong inhibitors.

Urinary System Related Pathologies:

  • Previous treatment with intravesical BoNT-A or Mirabegron.
  • Active urinary tract infection (confirmed by positive urine culture).
  • Presence of bladder tumor, bladder stones, or bladder diverticulum.
  • History of pelvic radiotherapy.
  • Urethral stricture or conditions carrying a risk of re-obstruction.

Cardiovascular Risks ( for Mirabegron and Anticholinergics):

  • Uncontrolled hypertension (≥180/110 mmHg).
  • Severe cardiac arrhythmia or heart failure ( Class III-IV).

Other Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients planning to receive other overactive bladder (OAB) treatments during the study period.
  • Incomplete follow-up data or missing medical records.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

  1. Change in Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS)

    A validated questionnaire used to quantify overactive bladder symptoms. Total score ranges from 0 to 15, where higher scores indicate more severe symptoms

Secondary outcomes

  1. IPSS Score Change

    International Prostate Symptom Score (0-35 points). Higher scores indicate more severe LUTS

    Time frame: Baseline and 12th Week
